"DONNYBROOK" IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE SUPPORT OF THE BETS.. THOMAS PATTERSON FOUNDATION AND THE MEMBERS OF NINE PBS.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US ONCE AGAIN FOR "DONNYBROOK".

WE HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE VERY END OF THIS PROGRAM.

SO DON'T TUNE OUT EARLY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

LET'S MEET THE PANELISTS BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE WEEK'S TOPIC.

WENDY WI.. FROM THE ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, BILL MCCLELLAN.

SARAH FENSKE FROM ST. LOUIS MAGAZINE AND ALVIN REID FROM THE ST. LOUIS AMERICAN.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM.

WE WILL START WITH YOU, BILL.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THIS.

BUT LAWYERS FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE ARE EXCHANGING LETTERS.

BASICALLY ATTORNEY GENERAL ANDREW BAILEY WANTS MIKE PARSON TO NAME THE REPLACEMENT FOR WESLEY BELL.

HE'S THE.. THAT'S GOING TO CONGRESS.

HOWEVER, SAM PAGE, THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, BELIEVES HE HAS THAT CALL.

WHAT'S Y.. >> LIVING IN ST. CHARLES THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE MADE THE CALL.

IN ST. LOUIS, THE GOVERNOR MADE THE CALL.

LEGALLY, I DON'T KNOW.

MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE IN THIS INSTANCE THAT MIKE PARSON MAKE THE CALL JUST BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THAT SAM PAGE MIGHT PUT IN BETH ORWICK, AND I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE WAY SHE'S HANDLED THE JOB AS ATTORNEY FOR THE COUNTY.

NOT ONLY DID SHE SIDE WITH LISA CHANCEY TO BECOME THE CHAIRPERSON WHEN SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN, I THOUGHT.

ALSO THE SERGEANT WILDHABEY, I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS TERRIBLY MISHANDLED.

THEY COULD HAVE SETTLED FOR THOUSANDS.

IN.. LOST MILLIONS.

AND I THOUGHT MS. OR..

ATTORNEYS FOR STUFF WHEN THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ROGUISH.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MIKE PARSON MAKE THE CALL.

>> I SEE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT MS. ORWICK.

BUT FROM TALKING TO LAWYERS, I THINK IT'S CLEAR CUT.

I THINK PARSON DOES NOT HAVE THE RATE TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT BECAUSE IT'S A CHARTER COUNTY.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH ST. LOUIS, THE REASON MAKE PARSON WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT, THERE'S ONLY ONE CIRCUIT ATTORNEY IN THE ENTIRE STATE.

IT'S LIKE THE REMNANT OF ST. LOUIS BEING A QUASI COUNTY BUT NOT A REAL COUNTY.

THAT WAS NOT A COMPARABLE THING.

EVEN THOUGH IT'S A COMPARABLE JOB.

THE PRECEDENT ..

THE PRECEDENT WE NEED TO FOLLOW WHICH MEANS IT'S SOMETHING THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE DOES.

EVEN THOUGH WE LIKE SAM PAGE, WE SHOULD FOLLOW THE LAW.

>> I THOUGHT THE CITY HAD TO DO WITH THE CITY'S CHARTER.

I AGREE WITH YOU 1,000%.

ACCORDING TO MS. REDWING'S MEMO TO BAILEY, SHE HAD CHAPTER AND VERSE WHERE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SAM PAGE'S CALL, WHETHER IT'S BETH ORWICK OR SOMEBODY ELSE.

>> ONCE AGAIN, THERE'S THAT NAME AGAIN.

ANDREW BAILEY THAT C..

NONSENSE AND THE GOVERNOR IS ON THE WAY OUT THE DOOR ANYWAY.

ANDREW, SHUFFLE ON OUT TO BUFFALO AND LET THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE PICK.

IF HE MAKES THE WRON.. AND I AGREE WITH YOU, I WOULD RATHER SEE SOMEONE ELSE FULFILL THE REST OF THAT TERM.

IF HE MAKES THE WRONG DECISION, IT'S THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S DECISION TO MAKE, AND WE SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF THAT.

THEY ARE COMING TO TAKE OVER THE ST. LOUIS POLICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN.

AND WE ALL SAY LET US DO OUR OWN THING, BUT YOU CAN'T SAY OH, NO, COME ON, STATE, JUMP IN HERE BUT LEAVE US ALONE THERE.

YOU HAVE TO BUILD THESE WALLS.

>> I THINK BILL HAS A PRETTY GOOD POINT BECAUSE OF BETH ORWICK'S RECORD.

SHE'S THE ONE WO SAID KEITH WE WILLHABERS, HE WANTED TO SETTLE FOR 800,000.

IT'S YOUR ARGUMENT, MAYBE, WHAT I'M SAYING IS THIS IS AN IMPORTANT JOB AND JOE HOLLEMAN REPORTED SHE'S IN LINE, WHICH WOULDN'T SURPRISE M BECAUSE SHE'S DOING BIDDING FOR THE EXECUTIVE, BECAUSE HE'S DOUBLE DIPPING AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT.

>> BUT WE HAD THE NEPOTISM CHARGES AT THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER.

IT WAS -- AT LEAST I WAS ALL ABOUT FOLLOWING THE LAW.

I THINK WE HAVE TO DO THE SAME.

>> I WAS AGAINST THE LAW ON THAT ONE, TOO.

>> WELL, YOU ARE AN ANARCHIST.

WE ALREADY KNOW THIS.

>> I ADMIRED THE GUY FOR HIRING HIS STEPDAUGHTER.

>> I'M GOING TO JUMP AROUND H.. A LITTLE BIT.

ALVIN, LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT NELLY.

ROCK S.. MAYBE OUR ONLY REALLY BIG ROCK STAR WHO LIVES HERE.

HE WAS ARRESTED AUGUST 7th AT THE MARYLAND CASINO.

HE DIDN'T HAVE INSURANCE ON HIS CAR, BUT ALSO THE ARRESTING OFFICERS FOUND FOUR PILLS, ECTASY PILLS IN HIS CAR.

I DON'T WANT HIM GOING TO JAIL.

I THINK HE'S A CIVIC TREASURE.

I DON'T BELIEVE INPUTTING PEOPLE IN JAIL BECAUSE THEY ARE USING DRUGS.

NONETHELESS HIS ATTORNEY..

THE BEST IN TOWN, SCOTT ROSENBLUM, SAID I'M GLAD THAT THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY, WESLEY BELL IS APPARENTLY NOT GOING TO FILE ANY CHARGES ON THE DRUG ISSUE.

.. LOOK AT THAT.

YET SCOTT ROSENBLUM IS A FRIEND OF WESLEY BELL, WHO THEY GO TO CARDINAL GAMES TOGETHER, HIS SON, ROSE ROSENBLUM'S WORKS IN BELL'S OFFICE.

AND HE R.. COMMERCIAL IN ROSENBLUM'S OFFICE AND ROSENBLUM IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DONORS.

SHOULDN'T WESLEY RECUSE HIMSELF FROM THAT CASE?

>> PROBABLY DIDN'T GO OVER THE FILE.

PROBABLY RECOMMENDED.. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND SAID IT'S GOOD WITH ME.

ULTIMATELY THE BUCK STOPS THERE.

HE DID THE WEEDS ON IT.

IF YOU MATCH THAT UP TO PEOPLE IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, THEY PROBABLY FACE THE SAME FATE OF YOU NEED TO ACT BETTER THAN THAT, PLEAS GET OUT OF MY FACE, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT REAL PROBLEMS.

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I DON'T THINK WESLEY BELL IS PROSECUTING ANY FENTANYL OR HEROIN CRIMES REALLY.

HEAS NOT PUTTING PEOPLE IN JAIL FOR IT.

BUT THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY IS THAT CLOSE TO THE PROSECUTOR, I THINK THERE ARE PROBLEMS, BECAUSE THE PROSECUTOR SHOULD HAVE AN ADVERSARIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY.

>> WAIT A MINUTE NOW.

HOLD IT.

WHEN DID IT SAY YOU HAVE TO HAVE 3655 OLIVE STREET VEAN VERADVERSE SAIRL AN D THE.

>> ARE YOU GOING TO RULE OUT EVERY SINGLE CASE THAT ROSENBLUM HANDLES THAT SUDDENLY WESLEY BELL CAN'T PROSECUTE THAT?

>> THIS ISN'T GOTHAM CITY, CHARLIE.

WE A.. OF WHAT WE USED TO BE, AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING TALKING TO LAWYERS THEY FREQUENTLY DONATE TO, YOU KNOW POLITICAL CANDIDATES BECAUSE THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER.

>> I AGREE, AND I DON'T LIKE THAT.

INTEREST.

>> BOB MCCULLOUGH WAS HOSTIL.. A NUMBER OF DEFENSE ATTORNEYS.

OTHERS DID GIVE HIM MONEY.

THEY HAVE TO RUN FOR OFFICE, AND YOU HAVE TO GET MONEY FROM SOMEBODY, SO IT'S FROM THE PEOPLE WHO YOU KNOW.

>> WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT.

I MEAN, SHOULD JUDGES ACCEPT POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS?

>> NO.

FORTUNATEL.. PLAN WHERE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

BUT OUT IN THE RURAL PART OF THE STATE AND IN ILLINOIS, ABSOLUTELY.

ILLI.. >> NOT GOOD.

NOT GOOD.

>> YOU HAVE THESE JUDGES RAISING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF CONTRIBUTIONS.

I THINK ..

ULTIMATELY PRETTY GOOD.

I THINK YOU ARE CHOOSING THE WRONG CASE TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF.

RIGHT THING.

>> HE LOSES MONEY WITH JURIES.

>> MAYBE SO BECAUSE ROSENBLUM SAID IT'S A LOOK AT THE CASE.

>> IN TERMS OF NOT HAVING INSURANCE, HE REMEDIED THAT WITHIN A MATTER OF HOURS, AND BEFORE, I MEAN, THE BEFORE ECSTASY, HE HAD A RUN-IN OVER SOME POSSESSION ISSUES BEFORE, AND HE HAD TO ATTEND SOME KIND OF COURSE, SO I'M IN LINE WITH THAT.

>> CHARL.. REAL QUICK?

ALSO, LET'S LOOK AT THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THE WHOLE GETTING ESCORTED OUT TO THE CASINO.

HE COULD HAVE WENT IN AND SAID WESLEY, DO YOU WANT TO HOLD THE POLICE HATE THE BLACK MAN AND ALL OF THAT?

>> THAT'S POSSIBLE.

I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN ANOTHER ATTORNEY, RECUSED HIMSELF AND HAD A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR LOOK INTO IT.

HE'S GOING AFTER DENNIS HANCOCK.

>> WHEN ROSENBLUM HANDLES THE CASE DO WE NEED A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.

>> CAMPA.. HIS OFFICE AS REPORTED BY ESTEEMED COLLEGE IN ST. LOUIS MAGAZINE.

DO Y.. >> THEN MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE A CHINESE WALL.

YOU CAN'T ACCEPT MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE YOU COVER WHEN YOU WORK FOR THE ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH.

LET'S MOVE ON.

SARAH FENSKE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COVERED THIS FOR ST. LOUIS MAGAZINE.

PEOPLE SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR DAILY NEWSLETTER, THERE'S REALLY A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THERE.

I THINK IT WAS FOX 2 THAT ACTUALLY REPORTED THERE ARE CURB-OUTS, AND THEY ARE H ELEVATED CONCRETE PLATFORMS IN THE BREAK DOWN LANE ALONG CLARKSON ROADS IN CHESTERFIELD.

MO DOT HAD BEEN INSTALLING THEM BECAUSE THEY FEEL IF THE ROAD IS MORE NARROW THEY MAY BE DRIVING MORE SLOWLY.

OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING WHERE CAN I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IF THERE'S A FLAT.

MO DOT STOPPED CONSTRUCTING THEM FOR THE TIME BEING.

>> THERE'S A LITTLE PAUSE ON THIS PROJECT.

BOY, I HATE TO BREAK IT TO THE CHESTERFIELD CROWD, I KNOW THEY ARE REALLY TRAUMATIZED BY HAVING HE'S BUMP-OUTS BUT RIGHT NOW THERE'S A LOT OF DATA THAT SHOWS THESE ARE AN EFFECT UF WAY TO GIVE THE KIND OF ROAD DIET THAT GIVES DRIVERS CUES THAT THEY NEED TO SLOW DOWN.

MO DOT SAID LET'S PUT BEST PRACTICES INTO REALITY HERE.

CHESTERFIELD CAN'T HANDLE IT.

I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THEM.

>> I LIVE OFF CLARKSON ROAD.

I AM CLOCKER SON ADJACENT.

ACCORDING TO THE DATA, MS. FENSKE.

>&g.. DATA, FENSKE.

>> THERE ARE ALMOST 1,000 ACCIDENTS.

THER.. YEARS.

>>.. >> IT'S REALLY NOT.

IF THESE WERE THINK PING DING, IF I DING YOUR BUMPER IF THAT COUNTS AS AN ACCIDENT, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE PROBLEM WITH VERY UNRULY DEER, BUT THIS IS IN MY MIND, AND I THINK FROM WHAT I HAVE GLEANED FROM MY FELLOW CHESTERFIELDIANS, IT'S THE FIRST RESPONDERS.

THOS.. CLARKSON, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE, AND YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT, I DON'T SEE WHAT THE POLICE AND THE FIREFIGHTERS ARE GOING TO DO IF THEY DO HAVE A REALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

>> ADMITTEDLY, I'M NOT IN CHESTERFIELD AS OFTEN AS I SHOULD BE.

YOU CAN LIVE IN LO..

THE LANES WERE FULL ALL THE TIME.

THEY FOUND A W..

THESE THINGS BY LAYING ON THE HORN.

ACROSS AND EVERYBODY HAS THREE DIFFERENT LANES THEY CAN RUN INTO.

THE MORE WE CAN SLIM DISOWN THE ROADS, THE BETTER OFF WE'RE GOING TO BE.

>> I HATE THOSE THINGS.

I RAN INTO ONE IN FOREST PARK WHEN THEY FIRST PUT THEM IN.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON THE FAR RIGHT HAND SIDE, MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, WATCHING THE ROAD.

ALL OF A SUDDEN WHACK, I HIT SOMETHING, AND I THOUGHT WHY DO THEY EVEN PUT THESE OUT HERE?

AND THE IDEA WELL, IT SLOWS YOU DOWN.

>> BECAUSE I..

NARROWER, IT SUPGHTS T SUGGESTS TO THE BRAIN THAT -- IT IS TRUE.

>> YOU KIND OF TOOK WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY KIND OF DIFFERENT.

BUT THEY DO WORK.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST ENOUGH TO SAY I WAS TRYING TO PULL OVER.

>> I AGREE WITH THAT.

>> NARROWER LANES ON 40 AND 44, TOO?

>> BY TH.. TOO GOOD EITHER.

MO DOT ANNOUNCED HE HA HASTINGER IS THE NEW HEAD.

IT'S A REALLY GOOD PICK.

>> THEY HAD THE NUMBERS FOR FIVE YEARS.

&g.. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT JUSTIN SPARKS?

HE'S A REPUB.. WOOD.

HE SERVES IN T..

ASSEMBLY AND HE WANTS TO BE THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

HE SAID IN JEFFERSON CITY, AND THIS IS ANOTHER, I GUESS ISSUE INVOLVING MONEY, HE SAID IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A COMMITTEE HEAD OR IF YOU WANT TO GET ON THE BUDGET COMMITTEE, YOU ARE GIVEN AN ENVELOP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SESSION, AND IT HAS A NUMBER IN THERE.

HIS NUMBER WAS 20.

THAT MEANS HE HAD TO RAISE $20,000 TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS GOVERNMENT JOB.

WHY IS THAT NOT THEFT OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES PROSECUTED BY THE U.S. ATTORNEY?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY THAT WAS SHOCKED WHEN THEY READ THAT STORY, BECAUSE -- CHARLIE.

NOTHING SURPRISES YOU.

YOU'RE FROM CHICAGO.

THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS.

>> IF YOU WANT TO ADVANCE IN THE PARTY, YOU HAVE TO BE A FUND RAISER.

>..

THIS ISN'T THE MOB.

THEY ARE RAISING MONEY FOR THE PARTY TO DO.

>> ONCE YOU PUT IT IN.. >> THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS.

THE MOB.

THE MOB WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE GOT TO COME UP WITH SOME EARNINGS HERE, BUT THEY WOULDN'T SAY YOU HAVE TO GIVE US $20,000.

THAT'S WHERE IT'S A LITTLE CORRUPT.

..

PLAYED.

IF.. GAME IS PLAYED, THAT'S WRONG.

IT'S THE SAME FOR EVERYBODY.

WE WANT SARAH TO BE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, BUT SHE ONLY HAS TO RAISE 10, AND ALVIN, YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH 25.

WAIT A MINUTE.

IT'S NOT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

>> PARTIES CAN KIND OF RUN THE WAY -- THEY CAN RUN THE WAY THEY WANT.

.. WAY THEY WANT.

>> PARTY CONTROLS THE COMMITTEE.

TRYING TO GET THIS GOVERNMENT JOB HE WASN'T ALREADY ELECTED TO.

HE WAN.. THAT THE PARTY CONTROLS.

IF THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO BE A CRIMINAL SYNDICATE, THAT'S KIND OF ALLOWED UNDER OUR DEMOCRACY.

>> ED HASTINGER, I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD BE GIVEN A JOB BECAUSE HE RAISED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY.

..

THE POLITICIANS?

>> THIS IS A GOVERNMENT, VERY IMPORTANT POSITION IN GOVERNMENT THAT IS UP TO TECHNICALLY HIGHEST BIDDER.

LIKE I SAID, AS LONG AS I DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, I WOULD SAY IT PROBABLY GOES ON ALL THE TIME.

WHEN YOU START HANDING PEOPLE ENVELOPES AND SAY YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH $20,000.

>> THE DETERMINATION IS MADE BY THE PARTY.

>> PRECISELY.

>>.. WINNING ELECTIONS, AND THEY DO THAT BY RAISING MONEY.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> FOR THEM TO SAY OKAY, IF YOU WANT A LEADERSHIP POSITION, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE A MONEY RAISER.

>> THIS IS WHAT THE GIRL SCOUTS ARE DOING WITH THEIR COOKIES.

I MEAN ARE YOU NOW CRITICIZING THE GIRL SCOUTS?

>> YOU BECOME A HEAD OF THE TROOP.

>>.. >> WHAT IF I WRITE A CHECK FOR $20,000?

>> PROBABLY SOME PEOPLE DO.

BY THE WAY, REMINDER WE HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE TAIL END OF THIS BROADCAST.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALVIN, IN CLAYTON, THERE WAS A MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT.

BASICALLY A LOT OF RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE HILLCREST SUBDIVISION AND FOREST RIDGE AND ELSEWHERE ARE UPSET ALONG BIG BEND BOULEVARD BECAUSE WASH-U IS GOING TO MOVE ITS SOFTBALL DIAMONDS AND OTHER ATHLETIC FACILITIES FROM THE NORTHERN PART OF BIG BEND ON ITS CAMPUS TO WHAT IS NOW THE HOUSING AREA OF CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY.

WASH-U WANTS TO PUT MORE HOUSING ON CAMPUS BECAUSE A LOT OF PARENTS WANT THEIR KIDS ON CAMPUS.

.. FIELDS ALONG BIG BEND.

BUT A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS THERE ARE NOT TOO CRAZY ABOUT THE CHANGE.

MYSELF, I WOULD RATHER SEE MCBRIDE HOMES GO IN AND PUT IN ANOTHER SUBDIVISION.

>> KIDS, PLAYING FIELDS, LIFE, ENERGY, WHO WANTS THAT?

COME ON.

IT'S NOT THE COLISEUM.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE SPARTANS IN THERE.

>> WOULD YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY IN KIRKWOOD WITH B BY BIANNIE?

>> AT THE SAME TIME THEY WORKED IT OUT.

THEY WORKED IT OUT.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS A BAD THING.

IT IS ..

I DON'T THINK IT WILL CREATE ANYMORE ACCESS NOISE.

BE HAPPY FOR SOME GREEN SPACE.

>> ALVIN, IT'S THE QUALITY OF LIFE THEY THINK.

I WE WANT TO THE MEETING T.. NIGHT.

RIGHT NOW IN THAT AREA.

IT'S STUDENT HOUSING FOR CONCORDIA AND VERY LOW DENSITY.

THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ATHLETIC COMPLEX WITH LIGHTS AND NOISE AND BANDS AND UP TO 500 -- ACTUALLY UP TO A THOUSAND PEOPLE, TWO EVENTS, EACH 500 PEOPLE, AND THE ACCESS ON BIG BEND, WHICH IS ALREADY A BUSY STREET.

I SUPPORT HOMEOWNERS.

WHENEVER THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO DO SOMETHING TO THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE, IF ALL A SUDDEN A GOVERNMENT WANTED TO PUT A HOMELESS SHELTER NEXT TO YOU, WELL, YOU BOUGHT THAT HOUSE NOT HAVING A HOMELESS SHELTER THERE.

IF THEY WANT TO PUT ANYTHING THERE, THE IT CHANGES YOUR LIFESTYLE DRAMATICALLY.

I THINK IT'S WRONG.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU BUY A CONDO NEXT TO THE HOMELESS SHELTER.

THESE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW HAVE A LOVELY LIFESTYLE, AND IT WILL BE DRAMATIC.

>> I DO FEEL FOR THE PEOPLE.

I REALLY DO.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE OTHER ISSUE IS TRANSPARENCY.

THE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FOLKS, THEY KNOW WHAT'S IN THE WORKS.

THEY KNOW WHAT'S IN THE PIPELINE.

THEY ARE NOT E.. THEIR FULL WHATEVER.

>> THEY SAY THEY DON'T.

>> I DO FEEL SORRY FOR WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY AND THEIR TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR THE ENDOWMENTS, BUT THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI, IF THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COLUMBIA WANTED TO MOVE INTERSTATE 70, THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE THE POWER TO DO THAT TO MOVE INTERSTATE 70.

AND WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY HAS TO MAKE THE STUDENTS HAPPY IN TERMS OF PALESTINE, ISRAEL.

I KIND OF FEEL FOR THAT.

>> ONE THING ABOUT THE FIGHTS IN CLAYTON THAT ARE KIND OF INTERESTING, THE LITTLE GUYS ARE ALWAYS WEALTHY.

I REMEMBER WHEN THE FIGHT WAS EMINENT DOMAIN AND ONE OF THE GUYS GETTING FORCED OUT WAS A DANFORTH.

IT'S..

THIS STUFF, BUT I WAS AT THE HEARING TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT LISTENING TO THE OWLS,.

>> THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE 150 FEET OF TREES BETWEEN THE ROAD AND THE FACILITY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

LET .. >> YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S A GEORGIA ALABAMA GAME GOING TO BE THERE.

>> WE WILL CONTINUE THIS ON ANOTHER DATE BECAUSE WE HAVE ANOTHER TOPIC.

THE LAST.. IS THE AFRICAN PEOPLE'S EDUCATION AND DEFENSE COMMITTEE WANTS TO PUT UP A BAKERY, 3719 WEST FLORENCE.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS ONE OF THEIR LEADERS WAS JUST CONVICTED FOR CONSPIRING TO ACT WITH RUSSIA.

HE FACES FIVE YEARS IN PRISON.

THIS FACILITY WILL BE ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF AWAY FROM THE NEW NGA.

DO YOU WANT PEOPLE WITH RUSSIA CONNECTIONS NEXT TO OUR INTELLIGENCE BUILDING AND FOR THAT MATTER DO YOU WANT A LIQUOR LICENSE IN NORTH ST. LOUIS?

>> I UNDERSTAND THE NEIGHBORS WHO SAY THEY DON'T WANT A LIQUOR LICENSE.

.. THAT, AS MUCH AS I ENJOY LIQUOR.

I DON'T LOVE THE IDEA OF US DECIDING WHO GETS TO OPEN A CAFE BASED ON THE POLITICS.

I CAN SEE THAT BECOMING A SLIPPERY SLOPE IN ST. LOUIS.

THIS IS A GROUP THAT MADE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

I WILL A.. AND SEVERAL OF HIS COLLEAGUES WERE FOUND NOT GUILTY OF THE MORE SERIOUS CHARGE.

THEY GOT HIM ON THE THING THAT WAS NOT AS BIG.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM OPEN IT IN THE FOOD DESERT.

IT'S A CAFE AND A BAKERY.

>> I GREA.

THE LIQUOR LICENSE, ..

NEIGHBORS DON'T WANT THAT, FINE.

BUT NOBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT JUST HAVING A BAKERY THERE.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD THING.

>> THEY DON'T WANT THE GROUP TO EXPAND BECAUSE THE GROUP WAS WORKING WITH RUSSIA TO SEW DIVISION AND DISCORD.

>> WE NEE DON'T NEED ANYMORE DISCOURSE IN THE COUNTRY.

>> THEY PAID FOR TILLY'S $10,000 TRIP AROUND THE UNITED STATES.

WHO KNOWS HOW THEY GOT THE MONEY FOR THE BAKERY, BASKETBALL COURTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

>> I THOUGHT HIS JOB WAS TO SEW DIVISION.

IF A CONSPIRACY CHARGE IS ENOUGH FOR MAYOR TISHAURA JONES, IT'S ENOUGH FOR ME.

>> LET'S GO TO THE MAILBAG AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE HAD TO SAY ABOUT LAST WEEK'S PROGRAM.

SHALL WE?

IF MISSOURIANS VOTE ON AN AMENDMENT TO GET A SUPERMAJORITY AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION, IT SHOULD GARNER WHATEVER SOUP ARE MAJORITY IT'S TRYING TO IMPLEMENT FROM FROM ERIC OF ROCKHILL.

ILLINOIS..

ARGUMENTS TRYING TO REDUCE STATE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS BY TWO 7-0 VOTES, AND RULED NEITHER WESTBOUND REDUCED.

AND WE HEARD FROM BETH OF KIRKWOOD.
